About a week ago I noticed that The node version information page was not only showing that my node was aware of over 550 nodes, but that build 5108 has appeared. Since then I've gotten the official build from the freenet site and gave it a test run. Then I got a custom build that included the painkiller mods and put it in.

So far the modded 5108 appears to be running smoothly. I'm going to update my alternate freenet download page sometime in the next week or so to include both the "official" 5108 and the "painkiller" version.

This has appeared because a volunteer has taken over development of the 0.5 branch of freenet. ..... I'll have more about that when I get a chance to spend some time reading Frost boards.
